I agree with you, but in your last post you wrote I know this is probably not what you actually think, but a lot of people are making false, stock comments like this, which is just as bad as the PSP fanboys shouting about bad graphics, which have nothing to do with the console.

But a few do, which was the comparison i was trying to make. Linking up between GTA and Battlefront IS immensely fun. On the whole, i do believe the DS wins for fun factor, but i would prefer it if people stopped outright denying the PSP any merits, of which it deserves plenty.

My favourite online game is Call of Duty 2, on teh PC. If anyone else has the game, and the version 1.3 patch, pm me and we can meet so i can pwn you \

Um just a few things you might like to add into the healer section? First of all, when a player selects the 'medic' option on their horn, the same red cross which appears on near-dead players will flash next to the name of the player who called for the medic. Second of all, you don't mention that the healer can fill their vial by right clicking the healing pool and selecting 'take-from'. Apart from that, good guide and thanks for the mention

fair enough, but you must agree that to at least a small extent, a tiny bit of fanboyism in necessary to make a games discussion more interesting? You would not get any passionate opinions or fierce debates that way. Fanboyism is not 100% a bad thing IMO.

well theyre made from plants, and theyre living things. If its ok to kill cows purely for food, why isnt it ok to kill rabbit purely for fur?

Well why not?

Yes but to a degree, it is natural and healthy to be passionate about one thing. For example, football. I love Portsmouth with more passion than pretty much anything i love. I declare them the best team in the world (true to an extent :mrgreen: ) and, as part of my natural instincts, am very untrustworthy of RebelAssualt. This is Football Fanboyism no? And yet millions and millions of people have it and it is a natural part of life. (BTW hooliganism is completely different to what i described, so please dont bring that up :P )

What about if its a wild animal say a tiger that is endagered. Then fair enough, i change my point to include that sort of thing. Similarly with ivory, and rhino horn; both are very very wrong indeed. And cupcake, im fairly sure that most cows are breed specifically for the purpose of harnessing their skin. They have no choice in the matter, and if they werent usd for it, they would roam freely (until Maccy D's [i use that ironically btw, damned chavs...]came along)

hey..that thread about hats on animals disappeared pretty quick...a mod must have deleted it :D I personally have no objection to fur AS LONG AS it was obtained in a humane way. I'm willing to bet that many of those about to flame me wear leather shoes, have a leather bag and eat sweets (often made from horse hooves, wewt) and so bring it PETA.

Theres nothing wrong with a little fanboyism, but when its as uninformed and stupid as it can be, its the most destruvtive force on Earth.*nods back to a certain arguement with a certain member named after a colour which rhymes with 'glue'* In fact i do believe that was what destroyed Atlantis, when a fanboy was so utterly dense and small minded, that he created a small black hole, sucking the prosperis (sp?) city in with him.

k thanks, ive added em. I cant wait to see how Eias and t'other Ninty and Sony fanboys react to any of my points...

haha. Did you just mention "IGN" and "unbiased" in the same sentance? Fair enough, but they are at least reliable. Somewhere like gamespot sways so much towards the 360, you would have thought it was run by microsoft themselves. I dont use many gameswebsites, so if you know of an unbiased one, ill gladly replace IGN with it. Also, for interests sake, who do they sway towards?

Potter hits it on the head for me. The PSP DOES have plenty of fun games, i adore lumines and wipeout, and battlefront is one of my favourite games of all time. But i would prefer to play them on a bigger screen, on my sister's PS2. My favourites on the DS don't appear on the Gamecube unfortunetly, and so i play them on the DS, things like Wild World (i prefer this to the original animal crossing) and Zookeeper can only be played on the DS. This leads me to believe that the PSP is largely unnecessary, because a.) The good games it has are avaliable in even better quality on a bigger screen. b.) Most people already have an mp3 player, and they are usually small enough to slip into a top pocket or something. The psp does have good music capability, but because of its size, its slightly impracticle on the move. c.) As for the movie playback feature, most people who own a psp, also own an ipod. A large majority of these will be 30gb or 80gb ones, and so can already play far more movies than the psp could hold, and theyre technically free. d.) The great internet browsing abilty it claims to have (ive never tried it myself) seems to be little more than a gimmick. Nobody i know who owns a psp uses its internet for browsing, either because of loading times, or simply because of how hard it must be. There really is just no real need to use the internet away from home, and if you are the sort of person who does need to, you would most likely have a BlackBerry, or something similar and better than the psp for that purpose. Also, i have a point to ask Eias. You claim Nintendo really only makes 'crappy games for kids' and yet you never really give any specific examples. This makes me think you are really just jumping on the Fanboy Bandwagon, and making uninformed comments whenever you can. The PSP adverts going on in the UK (with the dustbunnies) annoy me massively, as they themselves are childish and 'crappy' in the wake of well made adverts, and im sure many will agree. Then the PSP has games such as Robo Loco and the like. Absolutely nobody calls the PSP for kids because of that, so why do it in reverse when its blantently not true. I think the distinction you are missing is the one between 'game for kids', and 'family friendly' A game doesnt need to have sex, swearing and death to be mature. One final point, to everyone who makes ridiculous comments like 'Z0MG L1K3 THE PSP HAS W3LL CR4PZOR GA|\/|ES!!1111' and 'da DS is well for girls innit', i urge you to at least look on one respectable games website, such as Shacknews, or good magazines (thanks Nadril). They are unbiased, and therefore weigh up both consoles fairly. They neither call PSP games crap, nor call the DS for girls or kiddies. Your situation isnt that great when the only person in the thread who is backing the PSP with any class and know-how on the subject is CE. Good luck to her...

cool tyvm

the link doesnt work, just takes me to imageshack homepage....

I wish people would stop saying that a.) The DS has crap graphics and b.) The PSP has rubbish games. Neither is true. With the DS, there are some very very good looking games, things like Metroid and Nintendogs. They are made by Nintendo themselves, who are obviously going to go all out on their own games. However things such as Fifa and Spongebob come along, which are churned out by Ubisoft and EA and the like every year, without any care taken at all, and they do look crap. Also, the PSP doesnt have terrible games. A lot are remakes of ps1 games, (Wipeout, ridge racer etc.) but this isnt necesarilly a bad thing. Lumines, Wipeout, Star Wars Battlefront, all amazingly fun games.

i will not be doing anything this year, as the DISASTER what happened last year has scarred me for life...kind of... Id rather keep my love for the both of em a secret, at least to them :wink:

Sounds like some sort of perverted [specialInterest] or a victorian school room. It's a gentleman's club from the early 20th century. See here. They are most common in Europe, but probably originated in Britain as a Gentleman's club (a room only for men), during the early 20th century for the wealthy or first/upper class. Ie. Titanic, Lusitania, Mauritania, Olympic, and other British ocean liners from the early 20th century. Are you sure you dont mean wearing a Smoking Jacket in a billiards room?

im loving both them pictures, wheres the original from? good job CE =D>

i think it means either petrol, or the gas you use in a house...

erm, kama, thought you might like to know, im lvl 5 healer and lvl 4 collector \

when i was 14 and wanted a summer job, i asked my mate sophie (whose dad owns a farm) whether he needed any help, and he did, and so i got a well paying job, easy as that.

harrington, that amazing post has inspired me to show our north american and australasian friends a diagram... edit - and...

They steal things. There's a theory the word is actually an acronym for Council Houses And Violence, which does kind of sum them up rather aptly.
